Solid and elegant

It is slightly smaller than I imagined based on the photos, but the quality makes up for it. It sits firmly on my desk and holds my sketches in place even in a breeze.

Stunning historical detail

The engraving of the Qin Shi Huang edict is incredibly sharp and clear. It adds a serious, scholarly atmosphere to my desk. The weight is perfect for holding down large sheets of rice paper without sliding.

Heavy and substantial

I was worried it might feel cheap, but this brass paperweight has a wonderful heft to it. The antique bronze finish looks authentic and matches my other study ornaments perfectly.

Beautiful but needs cleaning

The design is gorgeous and very traditional. It arrived with a slight oily residue from the manufacturing process, but after a gentle wipe, it looks magnificent. Great conversation starter.

Perfect gift for artists

Bought this for my husband who practices calligraphy. He absolutely loves the historical significance of the edict design. The packaging was also very secure and elegant.

Excellent craftsmanship

You can tell this was made with care. The edges are smooth, the characters are legible, and the patina gives it an aged look that feels timeless. Highly recommended for any study.

5 FAQ

Q: Is this item solid brass or plated?

A: This paperweight is cast from solid high-grade brass and then finished with an antique bronze patina; it is not a thin plating over a lighter metal.

Q: Will this scratch my wooden desk?

A: No, the bottom of the paperweight is fitted with soft felt pads specifically designed to protect delicate surfaces like wood or glass.

Q: Is the text on the paperweight readable or just decorative patterns?

A: The text features actual characters from the Qin Shi Huang edict, making it both decorative and historically readable for those familiar with seal script.

Q: Does the bronze finish tarnish easily?

A: The antique bronze finish is treated to resist rapid tarnishing. Regular dusting with a soft cloth is sufficient to maintain its appearance.

Q: Can this hold thick watercolor paper?

A: Yes, weighing at 680 grams, it provides enough friction and downward pressure to securely hold thick watercolor paper or multiple sheets.
